Jasper County Democrat, Volume 2, Number 38, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 23 December 1899 — The John M. Smyth Co. Have No Agents. [ARTICLE]

The John M. Smyth Co. Have No Agents.

The well-merited popularity of the great mail order establishment of the John M. Smyth Co. of Chicago seems to have induced unscrupulous parties to go through the country and falsely represent themselves as sales agents for this house. By thus representing themselves they have succeeded in imposing upon many by selling goods and taking cash and notes from victims who actually believed they were purchasing goods from the representatives of the firm direct. The John M. Smyth Co. have no agents and denounce as frauds all parties traveling through the country and claiming to represent the firm. The public should be on the lookout' for such impostors.
